"McMichael stated (that) the unidentified male began to violently attack Travis and the two men then started fighting over the shotgun at which point Travis fired a shot and then a second later there was a second shot."

However, the video footage revealed someone attacking Arbery after he tried to go around the white pickup truck that had stopped in front of him.

The sound of three shots being fired were heard in the video, after which Arbery staggers away from his attacker and collapses on the ground.

After obtaining the footage from someone close to the victim, Attorney S. Lee Merritt—who is representing the victim's family—accused Travis McMichael of shooting Arbery with a shotgun at close range.

"Mr. Arbery had not committed any crime and there was no reason for these men to believe they had the right to stop him with weapons or to use deadly force in furtherance of their unlawful attempted stop. This is murder."

Merritt added:

"We respect that there is a legal process that must be followed in order for formal indictments to take place, but for the safety of this community; for the respect of Ahmaud Arbery's memory we demand that ... these men be arrested."

The attorney also believes the footage on the internet was the same footage investigators had since the day of the shooting.

"As a result of local law enforcement's failure to share the video with the victim's family, they will see this horrific murder for the first time on the internet."

Wanda Cooper Jones, the victim's mother, said she hasn't watched the video.

"I saw my son come into the world. And seeing him leave the world, it's not something that I'll want to see ever."

Based entirely on account of Gregory McMichael's police report, no arrests have been made as of Tuesday.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is also representing the family, told reporters that if the ethnic roles were reversed in the incident—with two Black men gunning down a White jogger— there would have been arrests.

Crump is aware of the challenges in obtaining an indictment while a majority of the country remains on lockdown, but he hopes the Arbery case will not go on ignored.

"It is unacceptable that this district attorney is continuing to try and kick the can down the road."

When Victoria Rose asked on the Jackie L. Johnson, District Attorney - Brunswick Judicial Circuit Facebook page why the men were not in custody, Lamar Bookman echoed what many people were already silently thinking.
